Moonlight Cafe

Moonlight Cafe by Noel Kerns.
The sign still stands, but the Cafe' itself is long gone...

On the old Route 66 in Adrian, Texas, at the midpoint between Chicago & Los Angeles; 1139 miles either way!

Night, 3/4 moon & sodium vapor lights to camera right, and further away back & left. 33 second exposure with white balance adjusted in Photoshop to correct for the sodium tint.

Large On Black Is Better!

jsmithphoto20d - Yeah, I love tack-sharp photos!

ihveissues - Really? Thanks! I kinda took this as an afterthought to the shot I had envsioned, which came out pretty well too, but not quite as cool as this one, IMO.

4PIZON - Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! :-)

At first I thought I was looking at a 3D drawing of a cad programm. It has such a plastic look to it. Beautiful.
